Chapter 8: An Impurity Makes its Way in...

“Something to discuss with me...? Is it the mysterious phenomenon you described in your recent letter?” asked Ludwig, adjusting his glasses.

Mia had already told him about Bel. Future Ludwig apparently already knew her true identity, and thus, Mia had no qualms about telling him everything, and with the uncertainty that was Patty in the mix, Mia felt like she had no other option.

Bel had said that no one ever mentioned Patty in the future she had come from. However, it was unclear whether that was simply to make it so Bel had no knowledge of Patty when she came to the past, or whether Patty had truly never time-traveled into the future in the timeline Bel had come from. With that unknown, turning to Ludwig was the best option.

...Though it wasn’t like that was actually Mia’s thought process. Far from it.

It would be absurd for me to hide all this information and struggle by myself! Quite a few people apparently know about Bel in the future, so there’s no advantage in keeping Patty a secret. Yup, making use of the brains I have available to me is my only option! That was how Mia had reached this same conclusion.

However, despite her resolve, she had yet to inform Ludwig about Patricia. The risks Patty posed for Mia were simply too big. Should Patty be bewitched by Serpent ways, Mia’s whole existence could be done away with. After all the efforts Mia had made since she first traveled back from the guillotine, she wasn’t about to put it all to waste. She wanted to avoid disappearing at all costs.

I have to be more careful about what information I reveal about Patty than I do with Bel.

Thinking that, Mia crossed her arms and outlined her thoughts to Ludwig. “Of course I would like to discuss Bel as well, but there’s more than that. To be completely honest, the situation has grown so complicated that even I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do. Thus, I wanted to hear your opinions on the matter.”

“It has stumped even you, Your Highness...?” Ludwig gulped nervously. Behind his glasses, doubt began to fill his eyes.

“Yes. And depending on the particulars of our situation, something even your future self could never have predicted may be occurring.” Mia remained silent. According to Bel, she had never heard mention of Patty from Ludwig in the future. It was possible that they were purposefully hiding that information, but...

Hiding it would be fine. If future Ludwig thought there was a need to keep it concealed, I’m sure he calculated accordingly.

What if this wasn’t part of his calculations? The appearance of Patty never being accounted for would be the worst-case scenario. When you see what you believe to be a guillotine in the distance and prepare accordingly, you can simply laugh it off if it turns out you were incorrect. However, if you believe it not to be a guillotine and let your guard down, there’s nothing to laugh about when a guillotine shows its face.
